AskTerminal

The native macOS command center for coding agents

Your agents shouldn't stop
when you look away.

AskTerminal turns project goals into a supervised work queue. Persistent Claude Code and Codex sessions take assigned work automatically—and bring you in only when a decision needs you.

01 / THE BOTTLENECK

Stop being
the dispatcher.

Running multiple coding agents creates a new job: checking every session, feeding it another task, and steering it after completion. When your attention moves elsewhere, the work stops.

01
Goal assignedPROJECT QUEUE · READY
Agent claims next taskCODEX · WORKING

Work keeps moving

Create the goal once. An assigned persistent session claims it, works through it, and returns for the next task without waiting for you to restart the conversation.

02
↻

Persistent sessions

Claude Code and Codex sessions keep their context, pull assigned work, and continue where they left off.

03
◇

Goals, not repeated prompts

Keep a project queue of outcomes and acceptance criteria instead of manually feeding every next instruction.

04
⌁

One coordinator

Use the Quick Agent to create, inspect, and assign goals to persistent sessions across all your projects.

05
✓

Attention on demand

Get pulled in for approvals and blockers—not routine status checks or task handoffs.

06
▦

A visible control plane

See sessions, terminals, plans, changes, and activity together. Autonomy stays observable and interruptible.

02 / WORKFLOW

Set direction once. Step in when it matters.

  1. 01
    ◇ GOAL / READY

    Define the outcome

    Add a goal to any project yourself, or ask the coordinator to create it from a single cross-project request.

  2. 02
    ↻ AGENT / CLAIMED

    Assign persistent capacity

    Route the goal to a Claude Code or Codex session. It claims assigned work and keeps the project moving.

  3. 03
    ● HUMAN / DECISION

    Supervise exceptions

    Review blockers, approve sensitive actions, inspect changes, and redirect work when judgment is required.

03 / LOCAL BY DESIGN

Autonomy without giving up control.

Persistent agents use the command-line tools, subscriptions, and repositories already on your Mac. AskTerminal coordinates the queue while keeping execution visible and interruptible.

  • ✓ Uses your Claude Code and Codex subscriptions
  • ✓ Works directly inside local repositories
  • ✓ Pauses for approvals and blockers
  • ✓ Keeps every session and change inspectable
